Grand Theft Auto IV (Special Edition) Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Head over to Ray's place on Denver Avenue near the south end of Algonquin. When you arrive, you'll have a brief conversation with him before an unknown female walks into the restaurant. This appears to be a girlfriend of Ray's, and she's all iced out, having just smoked some crystal meth. Ray's angry at her, but he also has his own business to attend to, and he dispatches Niko to go meet some friends of his that have some valuables for you to transport. And just like that, he sends you on your way.

Once outside, you'll identify a turquoise dot on the HUD that represents the location of the truck. Thankfully, it's really close by, so you don't even need to boost a car to get there. Simply run south along Denver Avenue the rest of the way towards the next block, and then swing right (eastbound) along Emerald Street, bearing northward back into the first alley you approach. Head down the alley towards the garbage truck, where Ray's friends will automatically intercept you. After some brief introductions, they'll instruct you to get into the truck and be on your way. You're driving!

The first stop we have to make is over in Chinatown, due east on Emerald Street. Swing southward from your current location and head east down Emerald Street, driving into the waiting yellow arrows there. This will let you pick up the first of two diamond drops. You'll have to follow the on-screen prompts to open and close the trash compactor, so make sure to do that before heading to the second point, on Hematite Street. (The GPS will get you to both areas). When you arrive at the second point, however, you will have attracted some company. It's time to make a getaway!
